Adult superstar and Penthouse Pet Chanel Preston is nominated for Best Actress at the 2013 Erotic Lounge Awards, Germany’s fan and jury voted awards.

“I’ve really had an amazing, incredible year,” says Preston. “I have a lot of fun performing in my scenes, and I’m thankful for my fans and Erotic Lounge for acknowledging my body of work this year. How cool to be recognized in Germany!”

The Erotic Lounge Awards are divided into two categories: fan voted awards, and those issued by a jury of industry peers. Fans may vote for Best Actress (for which Preston is nominated), Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Studio. Jury awards are given to Best Feature Film, Best Gonzo Movie, Best Series, and Best Film for Couples.

Voting for the 2013 Erotic Lounge Awards is open to fans and industry members from November 29 through January 2, 2014. Winners will be announced January 3, 2014 on the Erotic Lounge website. To vote, please go here.

Preston, a former exotic dancer in her adopted home state of Hawaii, entered the adult industry in 2010. Blessed with natural good looks and an unwavering drive, she earned Best New Starlet awards in 2011 from XBIZ, XRCO, NightMoves, XCritic, CAVR, and the Galaxy Awards. This year, she was named Best Female Performer (Fan’s Choice) at the 21st annual NightMoves Awards.

Preston made CNBC’s “Dirty Dozen” list in 2012 and 2013, an annual ranking of the porn industry’s most popular performers. She is the host and face of Inside Adult, X3Sixty’s cable entertainment program, dubbed the “Entertainment Tonight” of the adult industry. Now in its second season, Inside Adult broadcasts to over 20 million homes via On-Demand networks. The statuesque stunner will also be hosting the upcoming 2014 AVN Awards.

Cherie DeVille could hardly have planned her trip to Los Angeles better: not only has she been able to work in some of the best productions of her career, it was during her trip that she received her first award nomination.

On Friday, November 16, AVN announced the nominees for the fan voting categories and DeVille is nominated for Hottest MILF, putting her among the top veteran performers in the industry.

“I was so excited when I heard about the nomination,” DeVille said. “When I looked at the other ladies in the category I was really awed. It’s really something to see my name alongside some true adult legends.”

To cast your vote for Cherie DeVille in the Best MILF category in the 2014 AVN Awards fan voting go here.

DeVille is doing her best to become one of those legends and the reactions to her shoots have been nothing if not overwhelmingly positive.

During this trip she did her first shoot for Twistys Hard (with Jay Smooth), as well as a Twistys solo. She performed her first boy/girl for Kink.com, an intense scene for their Hogtied brand. There was also a girl/girl for GFF with Shae Snow (“That girl has the most hypnotizing eyes ever!”). She and BFF/real-life roommate Dani Daniels took on James Deen in a mind-blowing scene for Brazzers.

DeVille shot with the beautiful and powerful Princess Donna and Ramon for her first-ever — “and hopefully not last!” — Public Disgrace in what produced some rare on-screen results.

“I had never fucked in front of an audience before and it made it so hot that I actually squirted on film, which is so, so rare for me,” she said. “It was such a turn on!”

She also did four, foot worship scenes with FM Concepts over the weekend, as well as her first ass worship scene.

After this week, DeVille’s next visit to Los Angeles is scheduled for Dec. 16-21.
